Find value of x and y

Mathematics
1 answer:
marshall27 [118]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 17\sqrt{3}, y = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right use trig ratios to find x and y

note exact values sin30° = \frac{1}{2}, tan30° = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }

sin30° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{17}{y}

multiply both sides by y

y sin30° = 17 ( divide both sides by sin30° )

y = \frac{17}{\frac{1}{2} } = 34

tan30° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{17}{x}

multiply both sides by x

x tan30° = 17 ( divide both sides by tan30° )

x = \frac{17}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } } = 17\sqrt{3}

If (2 − 3i) + (x + yi) = 6, what is x + yi?
Andrew [12]
(2 - 3i) + ( x + yi) = 6
(x + yi) = 6 - (2 - 3i)
Distribute the - to the 2 - 3i and get
x + yi = 6 - 2 + 3i
Accumulate like terms.
x + yi = 4 + 3i. Answer
